DSA - Die Schicksalsklinge — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This medium underground map for two players pits a human-controlled Castle player in Red against a computer-controlled Stronghold player in Blue, with no teams. Its story centers on orc hordes gathering across the steppes to threaten a human city, and on a legendary titan's sword that vanished in orc lands along with its bearer. Rock covers nearly half of the 72 by 72 tiles, with grass, water, and dirt making up most of the rest. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, while losing a particular town ends the game. The map holds twelve mines, two seer huts, two creature banks, seven timed events, and many artifacts, including the Titan's Gladius, the Titan's Cuirass, and the Sword of Hellfire. Large groups of wandering orc chieftains and goblins roam the land.
